Getting Started

Getting Started

Build and run Memory Aid LockBox from source.

Requirements

• Xcode 26 or later
• iOS / iPadOS 26 or macOS 26 (or later) to run
• An Apple Developer account for signing to a device and using iCloud
• iCloud enabled on your test devices (for sync)

Clone in Xcode

The simplest way — no Terminal needed:

1. Open Xcode.
2. On the Welcome window, choose Clone Git Repository… (or Integrate → Clone… from the menu).
3. Paste the repository URL:

   https://github.com/fluhartyml/Memory-Aid-LockBox.git
   

4. Choose where to save it and click Clone.

Prefer Terminal?

git clone https://github.com/fluhartyml/Memory-Aid-LockBox.git

Make it yours (signing & iCloud)

The project is configured for the original developer's identifiers. To run it under your own account, change these in the target's Signing & Capabilities:

• Team — your Apple Developer team
• Bundle Identifier — change com.nightgard.Memory-Aid-LockBox to your own
• iCloud container — create and select your own CloudKit container (the app stores its vault in your private database)

Run

• Pick a scheme of Memory Aid LockBox and a destination (an iPhone/iPad or My Mac).
• Press Run (⌘R).
• On first launch the app seeds a set of starter folders and asks for the permissions it needs as you use each feature (Face ID, camera, photos, location, calendars, reminders).

Command-line build (optional)

export DEVELOPER_DIR=/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer
set -o pipefail

# iOS simulator
xcodebuild -scheme "Memory Aid LockBox" \
  -destination 'generic/platform=iOS Simulator' \
  -configuration Debug CODE_SIGNING_ALLOWED=NO build

# macOS
xcodebuild -scheme "Memory Aid LockBox" \
  -destination 'platform=macOS' \
  -configuration Debug CODE_SIGNING_ALLOWED=NO build

Note: point DEVELOPER_DIR at whichever Xcode 26+ you have installed.
